Apache 2.0.52 and .htaccess
 

Hi,

I am using CentOS 4.3 and Apache 2.0.52 setup but when I try and setup a .htaccess with Options +Indexes it does not show the Directory listings, so I am thinking .htaccess files are not being used.

Could someone tell me how to get .htaccess files to work ?

Also the .htaccess files are all hiding and can not be seen by the user in FTP, nor by root by the command line, just like it is not there, but when

logged in as root I type nano .htaccess in the folder, it loads the file, seems a bit strange to me

Anyone has any idea how to fix it so you can see them, via root and ftp.

The only time I can see .htaccess files is, when I type: dir .htaccess -ls

I am not sure what sshd I am using, but I am using Pure-FTP for an ftp server

You should change the AllowOveride to:
That's what the dot in front of the file is doing (makes the file hidden). It's not good to view these files from ftp

Hi,

Thank you for your reply :)

How do I see .htaccess etc... and .FOLDERS in root (if it is possible) without having to do dir -a all the time, on the command line ?

Hi,

I have worked it out, how to see .FILES and .FOLDERS in root.
I add alias dir="dir -a" to .bash_profile and re-connected to SSH.
